The Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust

We are aware that the Covid19 crisis is having an extreme and significant affect on the whole charitable sector.

• As well as focussing on the specific priority of this grant round, projects must address needs that have resulted from the ongoing Covid 19 crisis.
• In addition, we will be prioritising charities that work within BAME communities.

Please make sure you have read all the guidelines about who can apply for this round of grants BEFORE filling in the form.

We focus on different priorities every year.

Our priorities will become more focussed from 2021 onwards.

However, because of the devastating effect Covid 19 is having on many communities and the challenges that so many charities are facing, we are currently reviewing our policies to ensure that we target our grants in the most effective way possible.

We are also reviewing our policies in light of Black Lives Matter.

We are still committed to funding projects supporting the Homeless and Refugees and Asylum Seekers in 2021, but expect to support additional priorities.
